Adam, you are both in our thoughts and prayers for a good outcome.
Me too Adam. Please update us.dwarven1 said:
hope all is well, Adam. You two are having a rough go of it lately, hang in there. I know everyone here is willing to help you out any way we can. Let us know!
Sincere thank you to everyone...
Sorry for the delay in the update, it has been a rough weekend...
Her scans showed a new tumor. The new tumor has unfortunately decided to grow in her brain. The doctors cannot be 100% certain weather or not it is cancer, but they said that judging by the looks on the scans, and the fact that it wasn't there 3 months ago when she had her last scans, that it would be a safe bet to assume it is. The tumor is pressing against the major blood vessel that supplies the brains motor skills section with blood. They are going to be very aggressive with this, as it is growing at a very fast rate.
She will be undergoing surgery next Wednesday, to remove the tumor. Unfortunately, where the tumor is located, there isn't an option of the scope through the spine. They will have to go in the "old fashion way" to remove it.
Now some good news... They are pretty confident, that since they caught it so early, and they are still at a stage that they have the option of removing it, that she most likely will not have to endure Chemo again, that the surgery, followed up by some intense radiation, should do the trick.
There are some added risks with this surgery due to the tumor being in such close proximity to a major blood vessel, so we would both appreciate your continued prayers.
Thanks again, letting her read all these responses lifted her spirits!
